Cook the rice a day in advance according to package directions. 1 ½ - 1 for long grain rice is a great ratio.
In a large non-stick pan, add butter; melt over medium heat. Add sausage; cook until aromatic; add onion, pepper and celery; cook until vegetables are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add jalapeno, garlic and spices; turn heat to high, stirring until very fragrant. Add chicken livers; add rice to the pan; cook and stir until fully incorporated. Add remaining butter to the pan; allow rice to crisp on one side. Do not stir.
After about 3 minutes, a solid crust should form under the rice. Stir all together, add green onions; season dirty rice to taste with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
